About this app

Disaster Preparedness Starts With You

Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance: how you will contact one another; how you will get back together; and what you will do in different disaster situations. The SD Emergency app contains disaster preparedness information, like:

• The ability to create your own emergency plan
• The ability to build an emergency supplies kit

And when disaster strikes, the SD Emergency app will keep you and your family informed with:

• Emergency updates
• Interactive emergency maps
• Shelter locations
• ShakeReadySD Earthquake alerts from USGS
• Interactive earthquake maps from USGS

Plus, the app features a recovery section with resources during the aftermath of disasters.

The County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services (OES) created the SD Emergency app to better prepare and inform San Diego County residents and visitors about disasters. With SD Emergency, the tools you need to plan, prepare and respond in an emergency are right at your fingertips.

Ratings and reviews

It used to be awesome... But over the past 6-8mo or so, I've realized it's NOT sending me push-notifications or Emergency-Alert Audible Notifications any longer, even though from what I can tell in my App Settings- this function appears to be Enabled?! So NOW- this app's great for Reference of Emergency Situations that you ALREADY KNOW happened/are underway... But the major purpose of this App is to ALERT/NOTIFY you of an Emergency Situation taking place because you DON'T already know about it!!

great information to have, BUT a single high pitched beep from my phone is hardly an alert to an emergency. PLEASE change the alert sound to an option to select the sound and the duration of the sound. That way you'll have my attention when a fire is headed my way! (Do you read these reviews?)

I like the app, but it consumes too much internal storage (830MB) for data. I recognize the usefulness of having data stored locally on the device for an emergency when mobile data networks may be down or overloaded, but the app needs an option to store its data on the SD card.
